Vernon Building Society has a long history of giving back. That's why we set up a charitable foundation to support even more great causes and organisations in Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
We’re looking for a Trustee to help run Vernon Charitable Foundation, who will be responsible for supporting, governing, and strengthening the Foundation's objectives to promote community development.
The Foundation's trustees meet every quarter (in person or online) to discuss and award grants to charitable organisations within Greater Manchester and Cheshire. The role of Trustee is voluntary.
Skills and Experience
- Previous experience in a similar role.
- An understanding of the most pressing issues within Greater Manchester and Cheshire.
- Experience in grant-making, monitoring, evaluation and influencing social change.
- An ability to think creatively and work effectively as part of a team.
- Experience of chairing meetings.
We hope to gather these skills across all Trustee positions, so don’t worry, we’re not looking for all this experience in one person! The most important thing is a willingness to be hands on, as there is lots of work to do.
We’re looking for local people to make a difference in our community. So, if you’re local to the Greater Manchester and Cheshire area, and really want to make a difference, please send a covering letter to: charitablefoundation@thevernon.co.uk
